History of Konoha Village

At the Ninja Academy in Konoha Village, sunlight filtered through the gaps in the leaves and fell upon the children who had just finished training.

"Then that's it for today. Everyone, head home!"

Seeing that everyone had mostly recovered on the grass, Naruto spoke up.

Naruto wiped the light sweat from his forehead and looked at the tired yet satisfied smiles on his friends' faces. He knew everyone had gained something from today's training.

"All right, everyone worked hard. That's enough for today."

There was a hint of gentleness in Naruto's voice. He was also very pleased with everyone's performance.

Even Choji had trained seriously. He just hadn't been able to last until the end because of his body.

But everyone had done well. After all, this was their first training session, so he couldn't expect them to become experts overnight!

"Then this is goodbye for now, everyone. Be careful on your way home!" Naruto said to them.

"See you tomorrow, Naruto!" The energetic voice belonged to Ino.

"Be careful too, Naruto!" That was the gentle Sakura.

"Naruto, want to grab something to eat together? Want some chips?" That was the food-loving Choji.

"No, Choji. I have food at home. We can't waste food!"

Hearing Naruto say that, Choji stopped insisting.

"N-Naruto-kun, be careful on your way home!" That was Hinata, poking her fingers together and not daring to look Naruto in the eye.

"You too, Hinata. Want me to walk you home?" Naruto looked at the shy Hinata, wanting to tease the little girl.

"N-No, no, no need! Father wouldn't allow it. I can walk by myself!" The moment Hinata heard that Naruto wanted to take her home, her face instantly flushed red.

Even when running, she had never sweated this much. She really was a steam princess, Hinata.

"Naruto, Akamaru and I are leaving first. See you!"

"Woof woof woof!" That was Kiba and Akamaru.

"What a drag, what a drag. We still have school tomorrow. When do we get to rest? See you, Naruto."

Starting off with "what a drag"—without a doubt, that was Shikamaru.

"Naruto, I'm leaving too. My bugs said they're willing to be your friends and asked me to pass it on." That was the inconspicuous Shino.

"Okay, thank your bugs for me."

Naruto felt a little creeped out, but then he figured it was probably his animal affinity at work.

Insects counted as animals too!

"Hello, are you Naruto? I'm a second-year student, Rock Lee. It's nice to meet you. Next time we train, I'll definitely surpass you!"

Rock Lee had never met Naruto before, but after this training, he discovered that Naruto was far stronger than him. He immediately resolved to make Naruto the target he would chase after.

"Hello, Rock Lee. I'm Naruto Uzumaki. I'm happy to be friends with you. But when it comes to training, I won't lose either. I'll be looking forward to your next challenge!" Naruto said with a smile.

"Naruto, I'm Might Guy, Rock Lee's teacher. How do you have so much stamina? You can actually last longer than I can?"

Guy asked in confusion.

"I don't know either, Guy-sensei. Maybe I was born with it. My stamina has always been really good!"

Hearing Naruto's words, Guy suddenly understood.

Right, he had almost forgotten. Naruto was from the Uzumaki Clan. Not only did he have a lot of chakra, but his constitution was also excellent.

But could a good constitution really be this absurd?

Still, Guy had not interacted with many members of the Uzumaki Clan, so he did not know the details.

He couldn't think about it anymore. If he kept thinking, he might grow a brain.

After parting ways with everyone, Naruto returned home, with Kakashi-sensei secretly protecting him.

That evening, after the children of the various clans returned home and told their parents about what had happened that day, their parents all wore gratified smiles.

They knew that under Naruto's influence, their children had already begun walking the path toward becoming outstanding shinobi.

Naruto possessed that kind of unique charm. He could lead others to become positive, optimistic, and cheerful.

The leaders of the major clans also thought more and more highly of Naruto.

They saw that Naruto was not merely a child with enormous potential.

He was also someone who could become a spiritual leader, guiding his companions to improve together.

After dinner, once the casual chatting was over.

They began teaching their children their clans' improved chakra extraction techniques. These secret arts were far more efficient than the most basic chakra extraction technique the academy would teach later.

These were chakra extraction techniques that Konoha's great clans had continuously improved and refined over generations, so their effectiveness was naturally excellent!

There was no need to mention the Inuzuka Clan, Nara Clan, Yamanaka Clan, Akimichi Clan, Aburame Clan, and Hyuga Clan. They were all major Konoha clans and had long prepared arrangements for their children.

Even Sakura, who was a civilian, had her parents exchange their mission contributions for an improved, more advanced chakra extraction technique for her.

This would at least ensure that Sakura would not fall too far behind others at the starting line.

That night, after eating at home, Naruto lay on his bed and began checking the rewards he had received today.

"Ding! Congratulations, Host. You have completed the mission: achieve victory in the match against Choji Akimichi!"

"Congratulations, Host. You have received one chance to customize a ninja tool!"

"Ding! Congratulations, Host. You have completed the mission: be the last one standing on the Ninja Academy training field!"

"Congratulations, Host. You have received top-tier talent for space-time ninjutsu cultivation!"

The rewards the system gave this time were barely decent.

They just did not seem very useful to Naruto at the moment.

After receiving the top-tier talent for space-time ninjutsu cultivation, Naruto instantly felt that his perception of the surrounding space had become a little clearer.

Wouldn't this make it easier for him to learn his dad's signature ninjutsu, the Flying Thunder God, in the future?

"System, can this customized ninja tool be made into something related to the Flying Thunder God or space-time ninjutsu?" Naruto asked in confusion.

"Yes, Host. Would you like to customize a ninja tool?"

"Customize it!" Naruto replied.

"Congratulations, Host. Custom ninja tool successfully created. You have obtained Flying Thunder God: Unlimited Blade Works!"

"Flying Thunder God: Unlimited Blade Works: As the Host's strength increases, it produces a corresponding number of specially made kunai bearing Flying Thunder God markings. These kunai are not only as durable as ordinary ninja tools, but can also be instantly retrieved at the Host's will. If damaged, new kunai will automatically be generated!"

"Damn, these Flying Thunder God kunai even come with automatic retrieval. Once I get proficient with them, won't I be able to pull off all kinds of tricks with this ninja tool and the Flying Thunder God Technique?"

Flying Thunder God: Unlimited Blade Works had already been created. It looked like an ordinary ninja tool pouch.

Only when Naruto reached inside could he feel the ten specially made kunai.

This meant Naruto's current strength limit was ten kunai.

After placing the kunai in different locations around the house, Naruto lay on his bed and willed it.

The kunai instantly disappeared from where they were and returned to Naruto's ninja tool pouch.

They were not moving back quickly—they were more like teleporting?

They were fast and convenient, and Naruto was extremely satisfied with this ninja tool. It meant that even though he had not yet learned the Flying Thunder God Technique.

This ninja tool pouch could already be used as an unlimited supply of kunai. Throw them out, then retrieve them.

Other people's kunai were consumables, but mine can be generated endlessly!

Being a shinobi in the future would save him another expense!

The next day, when sunlight once again filled Konoha Village, the children already knew the way to the Ninja Academy and could go to school by themselves.

Iruka-sensei arrived in the classroom early and greeted each child as they came in.

"Good morning, Iruka-sensei!" Naruto's respect for Iruka-sensei came from the bottom of his heart.

"Hello, Naruto. You're here early!" Iruka was the same with others—sincerity for sincerity. When you treated people well, they could feel it.

Naruto still sat beside Hinata.

The people around Naruto were still the same group from yesterday. Perhaps everyone had silently agreed on it.

This seating arrangement would be fixed from now on!

By the time class began, everyone had arrived.

It was the first official day of class. Very good—no one was late.

Seeing everyone sitting neatly in their seats, a trace of satisfaction flashed through Iruka's eyes.

Iruka stood at the podium, a hint of seriousness in his eyes.

He swept his gaze across the students in the classroom. Their eyes were filled with a thirst for knowledge—such innocent gazes.

He cleared his throat, ready to begin teaching the children.

Iruka-sensei: "Students, today we will study the history of Konoha Village.

Konoha Village is the home of all of us. It is not just a shinobi village, but also our shared root. Let us begin with Konoha's origins.

Long ago, the shinobi world was still in the Warring States Period. The various shinobi clans constantly fought wars over territory and power.

At that time, shinobi had no fixed organization. They fought for money and profit, with no beliefs and no sense of belonging.

Until one day, two great shinobi—Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha—grew tired of the endless wars and decided to join forces to end it all.

Their idea was to establish a shinobi village, a place where all shinobi could live peacefully together. That was the prototype of Konoha Village.

Hashirama and Madara used their great strength and wisdom to persuade other shinobi clans to join them and establish Konoha Village together.

Konoha Village was a shinobi village under the Land of Fire, jointly founded by the Senju Clan of the Forest and the Uchiha Clan. The Senju Clan's leader, Hashirama Senju, possessed the Wood Release bloodline limit, while the 'Leaf' represented the Uchiha Clan, whose clan crest was shaped like a fan leaf.

The name 'Konoha' symbolizes resilience and vitality. Like a leaf, it can grow even in the harshest environment.

As time passed, Konoha Village gradually developed and grew stronger. It attracted not only more shinobi clans, but also many civilians.

Konoha Village became a diverse community where shinobi and civilians lived in harmony, working together to protect the village's peace and prosperity.

The first leader of the village was the First Hokage, Hashirama Senju!

He was followed by the Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju.

The Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi.

And the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze.

Throughout Konoha Village's development, we experienced many challenges.

For example, the First Shinobi World War, a conflict between Konoha and the shinobi villages of other nations. Though the war was cruel, our predecessors protected our home with courage and wisdom.

Konoha Village also witnessed the birth of many heroes.

For example, our Fourth Hokage—Minato Namikaze. He is the idol of our younger generation!

And the White Fang of the Leaf, Sakumo Hatake.

Students, Konoha Village's history is a history filled with challenges and sacrifices. But it was precisely those challenges and sacrifices that shaped the Konoha Village we know today.

It is not merely a shinobi village, but a place full of love and hope.

Now it is your turn. You are Konoha Village's future, the new generation of shinobi. I hope you can inherit the spirit of your predecessors, protect our home, and let Konoha Village's flame continue to burn."

Iruka-sensei's words were full of passion and strength. His voice echoed through the classroom, inspiring every student.

Clearly, Iruka-sensei was a natural inheritor of the Will of Fire!

Everything he said came from the bottom of his heart. It was all sincere!

That was why the students listened with rapt attention, and some even had tears welling in their eyes.

This was not merely a history lesson, but a lesson in passing down the Will of Fire!

Iruka-sensei's words would deeply influence these students on their future shinobi paths.
